Pop, country, rap, and reggae for July, in no particular order.
1. Ryn Weaver's voice soars through 79 layers of intricate production on "OctaHate," her earth-shaking debut single, but not her first song.
2. Jeremih, DJ Mustard, and YG flip "Rhythm Is A Dancer" for the paranoid digital dating age; the result, "Don't Tell Em," is impossible not to dance to, and tough enough for a G-Unit remix.
3. X Ambassadors and Jamie N Commons' stomping and wailing unofficial World Cup anthem, "Jungle."
4. New Zealand duo Broods' catchy, confident song about adulting, "Mother & Father."
5. Chris Young's turned-up ballad for his better half, "Who I Am With You."
6. Baby-faced Missisippi duo Rae Sremmurd's yawping braggers anthem, "No Flex Zone."
7. Ascendant pop-rap diva Becky G's "Shower," which sounds a tiny bit like Rihanna's 2007 smash "Umbrella."
8. Slow wine to Gyptian's "Stunta," which reunites the Jamaican singer with Brooklyn producer Ricky Blaze his collaborator on 2010 international hit "Hold Yuh."
9. Aerobic shit-talkers Young Thug, Freddie Gibbs, and A$AP Ferg punch through walls over a sinister snap beat for "Old English," from Nas' upcoming Mass Appeal imprint compilation.
10. Alt-J returns as a trio with "Hunger Of The Pine," a Miley Cyrus-sampling builder about how longing for someone can hurt as physically as hunger does.
11. "Classic," mom-approved throwback pop from boy wonder duo MKTO.
